Paranthetically speaking

I have 7 rows to go till I start the heel flap on JackJumper The Second - I love these kwik-knit things!!
~ Speaking of which, in the course of updating my sidebar (which I have totally ignored for 2 months), I felt the need to insert the possibility of future Fetchings ( I blame Lime & Violet - their voices are in my head, urging me on) (or maybe I could pause the podcast for a little while? nonononono). As if I don't have enough to do!!
~ Speaking of which, today we are going to the real estate agent's office to make an offer on a house, I am rechecking home loan options, I'm helping out at J's class after lunch, J has cricket this afternoon (if it doesn't SLEET like yesterday - what kind of southern hemisphere November is this??), and I would like to get to the gym tonight because it certainly won't be happening at any other point in my day!!!
~ Speaking of which, was 9.45am too early to start on the Lindor block - I can feel the tea&chocky combo speeding my fingers across this keyboard - I do not need pharmaceutical drugs to make me twitch!!
~ Speaking of which, I here waking up noises from the bassinet - must get the V! Bye!!

Japanese treats

Long delayed pic of treats from darling friend from my days as an exchange student. The pic does not include everything, because we’ve eaten the kinoko (sp?) bikkies and ALL the Pocky (3 kinds!!!)– if you’ve ever been to Japan, and are in any way a chocoluster, you will know about Pocky, and you will be jealous as only a chocoluster can be!!!

********* NEWS FLASH *************
You can read about Pocky on Wikipedia
on the Pocky website (in Japanese)
watch some episodes from The Depths of Addiction
find out what flavour you are – this is me:

what flavor pocky are you?

From Rain to JackJumpers to Flowers - But No Segues...

Rain! there was a smidge, now I must hang out washing and cause more rain, bring in potplants and encourage even further precipitation, and hope that Barbara enjoys her trip to Tassie.
Front DoorBack Door
You can't see it very well, but out the front is wind, rain (drops on glass door if you embiggen), grey clouds all the way out to sea, while out the back is wind, bright blue sky with scudding white clouds, and occassional flurries of raindrops preventing the washing from being put out. At one point, there was a huge cloudbank with the white fluffy edges directly above our roof, along the line dividing the sunny back from the damp front. Cool ;)

SOCK WORK

JackJumper the 2nd is on its way. Even having to use 2 stitch holders and a cable needle to catch the loops of the provisional cast-on that unzipped the wrong way did not stop me! Behold! the crochet cotton, unsnipped, as evidence of my perseverance in the face of stupidly-not-checking-which-end-of-the-chain-to-start-picking-up-from-because-I-didn't-want-to-leave-the-tv.


OTHER STUFF
Flowers!! Beads!!!
